The Imperial Parliament of The Diamond Isles is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Taira Azayaka with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 8.62 billion Kongōsekians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Susanukyō. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kongōsekian economy, worth a remarkable 1,408 trillion Kongōseki Ryūs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,361 Kongōseki Ryūs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cops in Susanukyō spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Diamond Isles's national animal is the Island-Glider Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kongōseki Shintoism.

The Diamond Isles is ranked 13,378th in the world and 1st in Crux of Liberation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
